Why you need a PICKLE?

Because the Pickle Wax Remover® is the fastest, easiest, and best way to remove unwanted wax from your surfboard (stick). You might wonder why someone needs to remove the surf wax anyway? The following are just a few reasons why surf wax needs to be removed from your stick:

To clean the wax off the bottom of the board (aka; the Chinese wax job).

To spot clean areas in preparation for ding repairs.

To clean tail areas for tail pad installations.

To change the temperature of wax used on boards.

To make the board look new increasing resale value.

To lighten up the board by removing extra wax weight (which can add pounds of extra weight to one's stick).

Who uses the PICKLE?

All real surfers need to remove their wax from time to time for one reason or another. All surfers ranging from the top surfing professionals to newly stoked groms are using the Pickle. The Pickle is a tool that should be in every surfer's garage, vehicle, and board bag. Just remember how embarrassing it could be asking your friend to borrow his Pickle.

We explain what surf wax is used for and which is the best kind for you.

History Lesson

Surf wax is reported to have first been used as far back as the 1930’s and is designed to be used on the top surface, or deck of your surfboard to provide traction. Since 1930 there have been many changes in the type of wax surfers used, from very basic candle wax to furniture wax to bars of paraffin wax to the famously known Mr. Zogs Sexwax and Mrs. Palmers. Nowadays surf wax is made using paraffin, beeswax, oils for softening that are similar to Vaseline, resins and perfumes that give it the distinctive smell.

Kinds of Surf Wax

Waxes are available in three general classifications:

Classic or traditional waxes, which contain higher paraffin content and are basically harder and less tacky.

Sticky waxes containing more softeners and tackifiing agents.

The very soft and very sticky that have just entered the market in the last few years.

So how do you know which surf wax to use?

Generally in Ireland our water temperature is between 7 and 15 degrees Celsius depending on which part of the coast you’re at and obviously the time of year!

Chose a harder wax for your basecoat that will allow stability underfoot, it provides a long lasting surface texture that can hold the top coat in place preventing it from rubbing away in strategic areas. When you start with a firm basecoat, you have the option of using a much stickier top coat then you could without the use of a basecoat.
